Players….Who happen to be students EARN hundreds of millions of dollars for their school’s….

Their school’s have signed on to an organization, The NCAA, that tightly regulates those student athletes , but rceieves millions from their labor, which they do NO GET PAID FOR……

In this dogs eye?

The school’s and the NCAA are stealing money from the players who SHOULD have a cut….PERIOD….

The National Labor Relations Board halted the unionization efforts of Northwestern’s football players in a unanimous decision Monday, dismissing the players’ petition and handing a major victory to the NCAA and universities trying to preserve the longstanding structure of college athletics.

The board opted not to exert its jurisdiction in the case and declined to address whether student-athletes are akin to university employees. In its ruling, the board explained that had it rendered a more weighty judgment or supported a decision made last year by an NLRB regional director that football players are school employees, the complicated system of college athletics could be compromised. Allowing Northwestern’s football team to unionize “would not promote stability in labor relations,” the board said.

“They’ve essentially said, ‘On policy grounds, we don’t think it’s appropriate to touch this today,’” said Steven Bernstein, a Tampa-based attorney who specializes in labor issues. “For lack of a better word, this represents the board’s attempt to punt. It’s a quick kick on third and long.”

“We’re definitely blessed to get scholarships to our universities, but at the end of the day, that doesn’t cover everything,” Napier told a group of reporters, adding, “I don’t think student-athletes should get hundreds of thousands of dollars, but … there are hungry nights that I go to bed and I’m starving.”

The Most Profitable Teams Make Ridiculous Amounts Of Money

Despite UConn winning the national title in both men’s and women’s basketball this year, Napier plays for a program that actually loses money. According to FindTheBest, a website that collected data submitted to the Education Department’s Office of Postsecondary Education, UConn’s basketball program ran $2.36 million in the red in the 2013 fiscal year. (Still, UConn men’s head coach Kevin Olliemakes $1.25 million annually.)

At Northwestern, where players are considering unionizing, football and basketball are the only two sports bringing in cash — and no small amount, either. The Illinois school’s football program collects $8.4 million in profits annually, while basketball nabs $3.9 million per year, according to FindTheBest…..
